Ebulliency / Mystery4 1/2" x 6 7/8"Ink on Book Page2007Sold

This is an intricately detailed ink drawing done on an antique book page. The page is from a chapter titled "L'Existentialisme Athee" from a French book called L'Existentialism, published in 1958. The abstract forms of this drawing are elegant and flowing, referencing chimerical organic forms. I like the way the forms cover the words on the page, creating a tension between linear thinking and fanciful forms.
